THE FARSE CONTINUES

The news has just come in from Florida that Palm Beach will not re-count the votes cast in the US Presidential elections tonight and only on Saturday will this result be known. It seems that 20,000 people were misled in the voting process in this county. With Bush only 380 votes ahead, these 20,000 votes will be crucial. They said they had wanted to vote for Gore but because the bulletin was misleading, their votes had gone to Buchanan, from a minor party. With these 20,000 votes, Gore would already be president. One hopes that Alexander Vechniakov is taking lots of notes to bring back to Russia...to present as an example of how not to run an election. What a farse! Timothy Bancroft-Hinchey, Lisbon
